Git integration for Visual Studio Code

Notice: This extension is bundled with Visual Studio Code. It can be disabled but not uninstalled.

Features

See Git support in VS Code to learn about the features of this extension.

API

The Git extension exposes an API, reachable by any other extension.

  1. Copy src/api/git.d.ts to your extension's sources;

  2. Include git.d.ts in your extension's compilation.

  3. Get a hold of the API with the following snippet:

    const gitExtension = vscode.extensions.getExtension<GitExtension>('vscode.git').exports;
    const git = gitExtension.getAPI(1);
    

    Note: To ensure that the vscode.git extension is activated before your extension, add extensionDependencies (docs) into the package.json of your extension:

    "extensionDependencies": [
    	"vscode.git"
    ]
